Faxon Firearms EXOS Compensator Line

2021 saw Faxon Firearms expand heavily on their pistol product offerings. In addition to adding several subcompact barrels to their lineup, they introduced their EXOS line of pistol compensators, with the earliest models being for compact pistols by Glock, SIG, and M&P. Continuing into 2022, Faxon launched their first batch of EXOS compensators for subcompact pistols (G43, G43X, G48), later expanding the EXOS line to include even more comps for M&P Shield/Shield Plus, SIG P365/P365 XL, and Glock Gen 4 Compact handguns.

Faxon Firearms has a full line-up of pistol compensators, with options for Glock Gen 3&4, Sig pistols, and Smith & Wesson options.

Faxon Firearms EXOS protrusion
Machined from 6061 Aluminum with a black anodized finish, the Faxon EXOS compensators are designed to fit flush with the slide on Faxon barrels or have less than 0.6” protrusion on other barrels.

EXOS pistol compensators are machined from black anodized 6061 Aluminum and feature a uniquely angled front port single chamber design. This enables the compensator to improve consistency while reducing muzzle climb and recoil. The angled ports allow gas to deflect upwards and not just sideways, reducing the up and down muzzle movement and improved reliability, according to Faxon.

The barrel protrusion is designed to fit flush with the slide and has been optimized for Faxon branded barrels. If the user is not using a Faxon barrel, the barrel should protrude at most 0.6” or less. Each compensator ships with a thread locker, two 6/32 set screws, and a 1/16 Allen wrench.

EXOS unique porting
The EXOS compensators from EXOS are specifically designed with a unique angled front port single chamber, allowing for gas to be deflected up and out sideways to reduce muzzle movement up and down and improving reliability.

All Faxon EXOS Pistol Compensators are backed by the Faxon Lifetime Guarantee and an MSRP of $85.

Patti Miller is one of the most awesome females in the tactical/firearm (or any) industry. Imagine a tall, hawt, dangerous Laura Ingalls Wilder type with cool hair and a suppressed blaster and you’ll be getting the idea. What’s interesting is that in addition to being a willing brawler and intrepid adventuress, she’s also an Ent/Ogier level gardener and a truly badass baker.
